Severe car crash with my leased 2005 GMC Envoy. Much side and front damage occured, but air bags did not deploy. GMC will be sending someone from the protection allegation department to perform a diagnostic test on the air bags within the next 14 days. The accident occured on 4/22/05. I do not want the vehicle repaired and given back to me for the following 2 reasons: the vehicle incurred (in my opinion, police report, allstate insurance CO. , sterling auto body repai shop) etc . . .
